Chapter 678: Chapter 278: Strange Figure! Overwhelming Power!
Countless shards of stone whistled through the air chaotically.
The strange silhouette standing at the center of an eerie vortex shattered Jiang Shi by force, his rampant palm striking the opponent’s body, sending them flying backward, crashing heavily into the distance, with a bang that directly pierced through the stone wall behind.
However, the opponent’s body quickly leapt up from the rubble, blood spilling from their mouth, chest sunken, and their body shooting like an arrow in a desperate escape, eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
It seemed unthinkable that such powerful beings existed within the Celestial Demon Sect!
According to their understanding, apart from the Celestial Demon Sect Leader, there should be none more powerful.
But just as the opponent’s body frantically fled, the space ahead suddenly blurred again, and Jiang Shi’s terrifying body instantly obstructed their path without warning, looming like a massive and terrifying mountain, exuding an unimaginable oppressive aura from every pore.
The strange silhouette’s eyes shrank, revealing astonishment, and then they shouted abruptly, rolling their body to burrow quickly into the ground, attempting to escape through instant teleportation underground.
Yet the terrifying part was, as their body barely reached for the ground, Jiang Shi’s body had already instantaneously moved to the lowest point beneath them, a grim hand full of unimaginable power breaking through space to seize their face and toss their body skyward like a straw man.
In the next moment, Jiang Shi reappeared in front of the opponent, delivering a fierce palm saber strike towards their body.
The strange silhouette was terrifyingly aghast, knowing escape was impossible, they roared, "Thousand Tribulations Blood Explosion!!"
Boom!
Their entire body astonishingly exploded on the spot, transforming into a terrifying mushroom cloud in mid-air, unleashing rippling waves of vast energy that swept in all directions.
Jiang Shi instantly shielded his eyes, forcefully enduring the opponent’s self-destruction, and, amidst the chaotic energy flows, his [Insight Talent] scanned, quickly discovering a scarlet Blood Pill enveloping a vague soul, fleeing into the distance at great speed.
But Jiang Shi’s gaze chilled, a smear of red flame appearing in his palm, which he slashed casually, instantly tearing through the void, pursuing the Blood Pill at high speed.
Red Blood Demon Fire!!
The scarlet Blood Pill had barely fled when it was swiftly caught by the flaming red, instantly igniting into a blazing inferno.
Ah!
Piercing screams erupted from afar, deafening.
The scarlet Blood Pill, having barely escaped, immediately began to disintegrate rapidly, vanishing alongside the soul attached to it.
All this seemed slow, but in reality, it all occurred in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Shi’s body descended from mid-air, immediately turning around, racing swiftly towards the Celestial Demon Sect Leader.
Before long, he appeared in front of the Celestial Demon Sect Leader, without hesitation, placing a palm on the leader’s body, from which endless Essence Qi surged forth, rushing swiftly into the leader’s form.
The Celestial Demon Sect Leader, whose aura had been exhausted to the extreme, began to recover with Jiang Shi’s infusion of Essence Qi, as if a candle about to extinguish had its wick relit...
And at this moment!
From afar, the sound of whistling wind and flickering shadows approached.
Second Young Master Ying Long and Venerable Bai Mei were rushing towards them with astonishment, deeply shocked upon seeing the devastation.
"Black Lotus Saint Child, what are you doing?"
They shouted sternly, rushing towards the Celestial Demon Sect Leader quickly.
The Celestial Demon Sect Leader opened their eyes with difficulty, releasing an elderly, wrathful voice, "Stand back!!"
Second Young Master Ying Long and Venerable Bai Mei’s expressions changed, quickly halting and looking towards the Celestial Demon Sect Leader.
One look clarified the situation.
Jiang Shi’s Essence Qi was surging, pressing on the Sect Leader’s major acupoint, not harming him but healing him.
Then the battle here...
The two were even more amazed, looking at the residual blood mist around.
Was there another master hidden here all along?
Sweat appeared on their bodies.
Jiang Shi remained silent, his Essence Qi flooding out continuously, mighty and overwhelming, until he finally retracted his arm, his powerful aura slowly calming, and his originally immense body rapidly returning to its original form.
"Sect Leader, are you alright now?"
He asked.
The Celestial Demon Sect Leader opened their eyes again, slowly exhaling a breath, saying, "That was close, that was close, Jiang Shi, thanks to you once more!"
"Sect Leader, who was that person just now? I heard you were ambushed and seriously injured before?"
Jiang Shi inquired solemnly.
"Yes, they were from the Winged Demon race!"
The Sect Leader’s voice was heavy.
"The Winged Demon race? They emerged from beyond the Primordial Great Mountains?"
Jiang Shi asked.
"Correct, half a month ago, aliens beyond the Primordial Great Mountains officially entered the Great Heng, but I didn’t expect the Winged Demon race to target my Celestial Demon Sect!"
The Sect Leader sighed deeply.
The aliens’ entry into the Great Heng was prearranged, and after their entry, humanity’s forces signed a new treaty with them.
Yet unexpectedly, they broke the treaty, turning against humanity.
"Jiang Shi, many human factions have secretly been replaced by aliens!"
The Sect Leader’s voice was low, "The Winged Demon race ambushed me before, severely injuring me, and later, while I was healing, they attempted to kill me and transform into my likeness, to seize control of the Celestial Demon Sect. If not for your timely arrival, the sect might have completely fallen under their control."
"What?"
Jiang Shi was perplexed.
The aliens had secretly seized control of other forces?
"So the overall human situation is dire?"
Jiang Shi frowned.
"Indeed, we’ve underestimated their ruthlessness!"
The Sect Leader’s expression darkened.
He was the foremost master of the left path!
It was always he who schemed against others!
No one had ever schemed against him.
Yet this time, it nearly cost him at the hands of aliens!
"What about the Human Race Alliance?"
Jiang Shi asked.
"They... are even less trustworthy!"
The Sect Leader’s gaze was profound.
